Gol en el campo
Desorden Social Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
paz en la tierra
gol en el campo
paz en la tierra
que bonito es el fútbol
que pasión en la fiesta
sudar la camiseta
que bonito es el fútbol
para los que gobiernan
ya están pecando el paro
sim partido de vuelta
gol en el campo
paz en la tierra justicia corrompida
maldita la riqueza
patrones corrompidos
despiden . . .
The lyrics to "Gol en el campo" by Desorden Social seem to be celebrating the beauty and passion of soccer, while simultaneously commenting on the corruption and injustice that exists in the world off the field. The opening lines "gol en el campo, paz en la tierra" suggest that the thrill of scoring a goal in a soccer game can bring a sense of peace to the world, but this sentiment is quickly undercut by the following lines that describe people in power profiting from the sport at the expense of others. The lyrics suggest that soccer can be a source of unity and pride, but also a reflection of the inequalities and injustices in society at large.
The lines "defiende tus colores, sudar la camiseta" encourage players to fight for their team and give it their all, perhaps implying that this same passion and dedication could be applied to social and political causes as well. The lyrics go on to critique the "patrones corrompidos" or corrupt employers who take advantage of their workers, as well as a "justicia corrompida" or corrupt justice system. It seems that the song is trying to reconcile the joy and excitement of soccer with the harsh realities of the world it exists in, suggesting that one can still find hope and meaning in the midst of corruption and inequality.
